Here are 10 secrets that will keep you away from the dermatologist for a while

Use a Toner

Toner keeps skin firm and moisture intact. It is an essential step before putting on moisturizer or products. If your skin is oily, use a witch hazel or even Seabreeze as a toner. But if you are on the drier side, stick to a toner that is aloe vera based. Either way, make sure to incorporate this step into your skin care routine.

Moisturize

Proper moisturization is perhaps the biggest secret to skin care. Whether your skin is oily, dry, or combination – moisturizer is there to make your skin nicer. To put the importance of moisture into perspective, think of dry objects. They break much easier than anything that has water in it. The skin to keeping your skin wrinkle free is to truly begin a moisturizing routine in your 20’s and 30’s.

Limit Caffeine

Caffeine is extremely drying on skin. Limit coffee to once a day to keep your skin hydrated, and make sure you are drinking at least 2 cups of water for each cup of coffee. Excess caffeine will dry out your skin and create breakage and eventually lead to wrinkles.

Limit Sugar

Sugar is labeled as the new cocaine of our generation. It is is extremely addicting, and is found in almost everything. Excess sugar consumption leads to inflammation in your skin, which flares up acne and rosacea. Foods high on the glycemic index raise your blood sugar, which gives you inflammation, which breaks down the collagen and elasticity in your skin. So next time you think sugar is just making you fat, think of your skin also!

Drink Water

Water is essential in all endeavors. Water keeps skin moisturized and supple, and truly creates that glow we all look for. Drink a minimum of 8 for a real glow, and keep collagen intact in your skin.

Natural Masks

your kitchen for a face treat once a week! I personally like a manuka honey mask at least twice a week for its antibacterial properties and the glow it gives right after. For a natural scrub, try brown sugar mixed with coconut oil. For drier skin, mix some milk with cucumber for a moisturizing treat.

The Right Vitamins

Certain vitamins can really give your skin an extra boost. Prescription Retin-A is actually just a high dose of Vitamin A, and taking the supplement from your health store can truly aid in glowing skin. Look for zinc vitamins as well.

Exercise

Your skin is living breathing organ. Regular exercise works your pores to release toxins. Blood flow moves to your skin, and gets you working your skin from the inside out. Also, exercise reduces stress which is a key factor in acne and stress lines in skin.

Get Your Facials

Facials are a trick to avoiding most skin issues. Leave it the professionals to purge your skin of impurities and watch your skin be revived. Be sure to do your research and find a talented esthetician to work your skin. Extractions are key to keeping your skin young and fresh.
